I was raised Christian but no longer consider myself to be one largely because I don't think modern Christianity actually follows the teachings of Jesus. Based on only this clip, I know nothing more about him, Hamilton seems to be a true Christian instead of the kind that uses their religion as a weapon against those they don't like.

If more Christians spoke like Hamilton I might never have questioned religion the way I did.

    I'm not sure if you're using a broken app or something but there is definitely text there. Here are the first three paragraphs.

    President Donald Trump has allowec the use of cheaper red-dyed diesel. typically reserved for farm operations, to be used more broadly in an attempt to bring down record-high fuel costs

    Trump signed an executive order Monday evening stateside to temporarily allow truckers and farmers to use red-dved diesel - which is exempt from highway fuek taxes - and deferred related taxes on the fuel through the end of this year

    The tax-free diesel is typically used by farm equipment, construction machinery, trucks and other off-road vehicles. It is therefore exempt from a 24.4-cent-per-gallon tax applied to dliesel fuel sold for highway transportation.

    I'd like to introduce you to COCORAHS.

    CoCoRaHS (pronounced KO-ko-rozz) is a grassroots volunteer network of backyard weather observers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail, and snow) in their local communities. By using low-cost measurement tools, emphasizing training and education, and utilizing an interactive Website and Mobile App, we aim to provide the highest-quality data for natural resource, education, and research applications. The only requirements to join are an enthusiasm for watching and reporting weather conditions and a desire to learn more about how weather can affect our lives.

    Didn't China also demonstrate their ability to destroy a satellite from a different satellite about a decade ago? I remember it creating a huge uproar because of the massive amount of space debris it created.

    Also, given our military budget, I wouldn't be at all surprised if we did go to the expense of putting massig tungsten rods in orbit.

    The most obvious slight of hand here is the suggestion that employer contributions shouldn't count as part of what employees paid in. That is part of their compensation and shouldn't be ignored when suggesting that younger generations are paying for baby boomer's social security.

    To me this reads like someone is trying to poison younger people against social security so they won't complain when it is taken away.

    [https://www.odditycentral.com/news/door-head-ants-use-their-large-flat-heads-as-doors-to-shut-down-their-nests.html](Here is a short article on them.) According to the article, they stand their ground, even while their head is under attack. Pretty neat ants!

    To be clear, they published the rule to the federal register. If the I junctions are lifted, the rule will immediately go into effect. This has no immediate effect and hopefully never will.
